Reactors in Transmission and Distribution

By

Reactors help in controlling power flow, enhancing voltage stability, and minimizing the risk of faults within increasingly complex power systems. Reactive power, unlike active power, does not transfer energy from source to load but is necessary for voltage control and maintaining the stability of alternating current (AC) systems. Reactors, by providing inductive reactance, absorb excess reactive power in the system, thereby controlling voltage rise, which is especially important during light-load conditions or in long transmission…

India building 14 new nuclear reactors, Sealmatic eyes opportunities

By

India is constructing 14 additional 700 MW nuclear reactors, expected to be operational by 2031-32, following the design of KAPS-4. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) currently operates 24 reactors with a total capacity of 8,180 MW and has eight units under construction, adding 6,800 MW. Another 10 reactors, totalling 7,000 MW, are in pre-project phases, set to bring the country’s nuclear capacity to 22,480 MW by 2031-32. Sealmatic India, the country’s only ISO…
